Installation of Windows Server 2011 on drives mirrored in N40L

First POST:

 

Happy (and successful) New Year to you!

 

I just got my N40L Proliant, and I intend to mirror the boot drive before you start the installation of the OS. Will it take the RAID driver on "floppy" in order to install Windows Server 2011?

Literature talks about the creation of a floppy disk, but before that I have to create a floppy drive!

I'm working my way through the documentation, but it was not written for people with symptoms of dementia of old age... so I decided to ask here, in the hope that someone else has tried this recently and can give me a straightforward answer.

I think that just, I freaked out when I saw the word "floppy". Probably if I need to install RAID drivers during the operating system installation phase, then they would have to come from a USB key, as seems natural replacement of disks (I have a bunch of those covered in 20 years with a value of dust...)

Hello:

And a very happy new year to you too!

  • Windows Server 2008 R2, driver HP 7410 AIO, TCP Port printing

    I just finished a new installation of Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit on my computer that was previously using Windows Server 2008 64 bit and can't set up access to the network at my AIO 7410 printer. I would use the most recent driver Windows 7 64 bit (AIO_CDB_FSW_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe), but the installation of the driver complains "this type of product does not have the list of the types of supported products. My first question is a driver Windows 2008 R2 64-bit will be available soon since none are currently provided?

    The way, I have Vista (AIO_CDB_Full_Network_enu_NB.exe) that does not detect the printer (192.168.1.100) of the computer (192.168.1.2) if I get the installation to complete using the USB option then try the last driver. Once done, I try to change the properties of the printer to change the used "USB001" port - virtual printer to USB port to a TCP port. However, when I click on the "add a Port" and choose "Standard TCP/IP Port" I get a dialog with a title "Add Printer Ports" and the error message "cannot add port specified. Access is denied. »

    Has anyone solved what is the root cause of this error? I am an administrator on the PC and have never seen this before curve ball.

    I should add that a test page print correctly via the USB cable and another Vista PC on the network continues to access the printer through the network so that the printer works fine.

    Thanks in advance!

    Google is my friend! Found this thread: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/541278-solved-access-denied-network-printers.html that helped.

    The main steps are to create a new local printer, select the TCP port and provide the IP address of the printer. Windows query the printer and will automatically detect the HP 7410 driver is already installed and ask if it should use this driver I have answered Yes to. You should see a second printer now available in the control panel which is probably selected as the default printer. I unplugged the USB cable, print a test page using the new TCP profile and it works beautifully.

    I wish it was not so difficult to switch from a USB port to a TCP port, but I'm happy to have found a work around.

    I hope that this avoids some of the pain of losing a darker night of their lives thanks to the peculiarities of Windows!

When I insert the CD, the "install Windows Server 2003" is disabled. It does not run the application installation, and as such, I couldn't install this operating system.

    I even tried to start the insttallation put the DVD drive as a boot preference. Still it I cannot install the Windows Server 2003 operating system.

    Can someone help me in this problem. I wanted to install the Windows Server 2003 next to the Vista operating system.

    What do you mean by people with disabilities?

    You are not able to boot from the CD?

    In these cases, please press the C button immediately after switching on the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
    Alternatively, you can try to press the F12 key instead of the C key. This should allow the start menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as boot device and might try to boot from the CD-ROM Server Win.

  • Backups - VSS multiple backups Windows Server 2011

    I work with a SBS 2011 and my question is the performance of different backups on the same server.

    Currently, we use the native or built in the backup that comes with server 2011. This backup, backup on a USB external drive.  He worked for almost a month now without only minor problems at the beginning which have cleared up after that we set up an update for server 2011. The owner join a backup stored in the cloud. I spoke to two different companies and have decided on one. Speak to a sales engineer and to discuss their backup which is a VSS backup, I asked them if there is a problem or a conflict since both were VSS engines. Their response was 'both together do no running at the same time or overlap' we should be OK.

    They seem to think that it would be very nice. Also asked questions about the use of their software to backup to a local drive, and then to the cloud, they indicated that we buy camera ERA which was expensive.

    I greatly appreciate another opinion on this subject. Two separate backups can run on a server the two using VSS?

  • PowerEdge 1850 - installation of Windows Server 2012

    Hi guys, I have a Poweredge 1850 which I brought cheap on ebay, I use it as a NAS abit to free up space on my iMac and stream movies/music to my computer or via DLNA to my TV and PS3.  I am currently running Ubuntu that I kind of like/dislike, I also like to use my server as abit of a toy game project, and I like to try things, like using a webcam as a security camera which I can access when im etc.  I also use it to connect via ftp to and run Web etc pages.

    Now you know how I like to play with my server please can you help me :(  I want to try a new OS, I don't fear wipeing and start again as I can save on an external HARD drive.  I have a copy of Windows Server 2012 with I think that 30 days free and if I like it will activate.  When I boot from the CD, I get to the bit where it asks an installation location, but I can not find disks for select, I know I probably install the drivers I've tried (whether they are good or not, I don't know) my problem is they are .exe I can't load it as im on my mac:(-je n'avais pas ce problème de localisation deles de lecteurs quand j'ai installé Ubuntu) who find them without problem.

    Is it also possible to do this via VNC, I use remote on my server as I placed it in my garage.  Its abit of an effort to bring it inside more, she is rather noisy.

    A quick, someone could go through how to configure my drives in the bios, because I don't want to use RAID, I rather just have them as two discs rather than with her backup to another.

    Would be very grateful if you could help me with my "little" project (maybe we could both remote in and talk via Skype and do it together: D)

    Kind regards

    Yes, 2012 needs pilots, and the only way to get out them of the EXE is to run the EXE to extract the content (or use another tool for extraction).

    If you don't have a Windows machine (or you are not able to do it in a box of Linux/Mac), is not a virtual Windows machine that you can extract it, AND you have access to Server 2008 (not R2), then you can install it with this long enough to get the extracted driver, as pilots PERC 4 are from 2008 (but not later).

    Because Dell can't 2012 on 8G servers, you will need to use the drivers for Server 2008 R2:
    http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/product/Poweredge-1850?driverId=9K3D3&osCode=WS8R2&FILEID=2731109791 (you need the 'hard drive' version)

    The RAID controller integrated to 1850 (PERC 4e/Si) does NOT support so no RAID, in order to use the disks individually, you must configure each disk in a single drive RAID 0.  An alternative would be to disable RAID entirely, that uses only the onboard SCSI controller.  The RAID cache will be more usable with RAID disabled well.

    You configure RAID in the CTRL-M (during POST) utility.  You disable RAID in BIOS (F2), in respect of the integrated devices (CTRL-M will not be accessible when disabled - you use CTRL-A to display the disks).

  • Installation of Windows server 2008 on Poweredge R320

    Hello everyone

    We bought a new Poweredge R320 server in order to install 64-bit Windows Server R2. There are 2 drives inside and they are preconfgured as raid1.

    I changed the configuration of SATA in RAID mode and also initialized by PERC-H310 RAID1 without any problem. When the server starts up, I see the following messages.

    We found no Raid 0 disks

    1 Vitrual disk (s) were found.

    Try disabling the S110 controller built into the BIOS.

    You can also try loading the drivers for this controller during the installation.

    If none of the above works, your installation media is likely bad.
